1. Introduction
Phase relations in the H2O-H2 system are of significant interest for planetary science because hydrogen
and water are among the basic building materials of outer planets and their satellites.
In 1993 [1], an investigation of the H2O-H2 system in the pressure interval 7.7 to 300 kbar revealed the
occurrence of two crystalline hydrogen hydrates: the rhombohedral C1 phase, stable at pressures up to
25.5 kbar, and cubic C2 phase stable at higher pressures. An X-ray diffraction study of the C1 phase at 21
kbar and 22ВєC showed the structure of its water sublattice to be similar to the rhombohedral structure of
high-pressure ice II. On the basis of results of Raman studies, the molar ratio H2/H2O of the C1 phase was
assumed to be invariable at pressures 7.7вЂ“25.5 kbar and equal to 1/6 that corresponds to 1.7 wt.% H2.
Later, in the year of 1999, a cubic clathrate hydrate sII was found to form in the H2O-H2 system at
pressures from 1.0вЂ“3.6 kbar [2]. Further investigations established the crystal structure of this hydrate [3]
and the boundaries of its stability in composition [3] and pressure and temperature [4].
Our recent studies revealed the formation of a new trigonal phase called РЎ0 [5] at a hydrogen pressure of
5 kbar.
In the present work, using volumetric technique, we constructed the boundaries of the T-P stability region
of the C0 phase and estimated the changes of the hydrogen content of ice accompanying the C0в†’C1
phase transition.

2. Results and discussion
The experiments were carried out in a piston-cylinder high pressure chamber with an inner diameter of
12 mm, in which gaseous hydrogen, taken in excess, was compressed or decompressed by a movement
of the piston.
The C0 в†” C1 transformation was examined by constructing isotherms V(P) measured in the course of
a stepwise increase and decrease in the total volume, V, of the H2O-H2 system. While constructing the
isotherms, the volume of the system was held constant until the pressure stopped changing and its final
value was plotted in the figure. Representative isotherms V (P) are shown in Figure 1 (left). The points
of the C0 в†’ C1 and C1 в†’ C0 transitions indicated in Figure 1 (right) were determined from an abrupt
increase in the duration of the pressure drift arising after the increase and decrease in volume,
respectively.

of the C0 в†” C1 equilibrium is plotted in the middle between the solid and open triangles representing
respectively the points of the C0 в†’ C1 and C1 в†’ C0 transition. The blue lines are the isochors. The grey
field represents the temperature and pressure stability region of the C0 phase.
The hydrogen solubility in the C0 phase near the C0в†”C1 transition line was calculated by using
О”VC0в†”C1(P) and VH2(P,T) dependences, where О”VC0в†”C1 is the experimental value of the jump in the
volume of the H2O-H2 system at the C0в†”C1 phase transition and VH2 is the molar volume of hydrogen
at this pressure and temperature. The molar ratio X = H2/H2O of ice is found to decrease by О”X = 0.2 at
the C0в†’C1 transition. If the hydrogen content of the C1 phase is assumed to be X = 0.17 in
accordance with estimates in [1], the C0 phase should have X = 0.37 near the C0в†”C1 transition line.
The melting lines of the C0 and C1 phases were examined by constructing the isochors, which are
shown in Figure 1 (right) by the blue curves. The obtained melting points agree with results of [1, 2].
3. Summary and Conclusions
140
Our investigations demonstrated that the recently discovered C0 phase has a field of thermodynamical
stability in the T-P diagram of the H2O-H2 system and the high-pressure boundary C0 в†” C1 of this
field was experimentally constructed.

The resulting T-P diagram of the H2O-H2 system is shown in Figure 2 together with the T-P diagram
of H2O. As one can see, the incorporation of the hydrogen into the solid and liquid H2O significantly
changes its phase diagram. The melting temperature of ices under the hydrogen pressure is higher by
10вЂ“12В°C than that of the ices pressurized without hydrogen. Three new quadruple points L+sII+Ih
(P=1.07 kbar, T=вЂ“10В°C), L+C0+sII (P=3.6 kbar, T=+1В°C) and C0+C1+L (P=7.7 kbar, T=+25В°C)
appear at pressures up to 10 kbar. Such phases of the H2O-H2 system as C1 (ice II), C2 (ice VII) and
hexagonal ice Ih have stability fields on the phase diagram of water, but the locations of these fields are
substantially shifted under hydrogen pressure. As for the sII and C0 hydrate phases, they do not have
any stability field on the equilibrium diagram of H2O. Note also that the structure of the C0 phase has
no analogues among the structures of ices and gas hydrates [5].
